A new Landmark is a good choice, I ordered mine last week.
Not that dealers are always to be trusted but I'm told there isn't loads of new stock available.
Production is due to finish when they stop for the summer break which I think is this week. D4 2016 Landmark, Waitomo Grey.
D3 2005 HSE, Bonatti Grey, now sold but still comes back for servicing.
Defender 2002 Td5 Commercial, had a hard life but slowly being restored.
I only work so I can afford to repair my Land Rovers!

The HSE will be fine, as long as you haven't tried out the Landmark

Guess its like the Graphite as well - but then that's missing timed climate, sun roof, mood lighting compared to mine.
Oh decisions, decisions! Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

Spoke with my dealer today, beginning of July they had six unregistered Landmarks, today they have one, it just needs UN on the doors  that's all they have part from five or six Graphites. So those who were hanging on in the hope getting big discounts on an unregistered Landmark, I think that ship has sailed.

In the dealers today, they've not got a lot on the forecourt but they do have a load coming over the next few months. They are all preordered / configured though so you have to take the spec as seen, there's no build slots left.
Looking at the list on the dealers screen they've only got at the most another 100 or so for the whole of the Marshalls network. So not that many really. Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

Well...
Decided that having two larger cars was not worth it. The fiesta is not worth trading in and has life left, it's only used for commuting and does less than 7k per year.
So a new Landmark is on its way, collection early September.
You cannot choose options as dealer stock is all preordered and there are no production slots left according to the dealer.
So it's got privacy glass, tow pack and the viper / black edged alloy wheels.
Got bang on what I was expecting for PX and 8% off asking price and service pack!
Now to remove the sump guard, spare wheel protector and led bulbs.
Will be having a bit of a sale soon.... Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

Your purchase may prove to be an investment (which cars rarely are)... If the D5 is a dud
Daft question that maybe you alone cant answer....
The dipping mirror.... I would have thought a bit of standard kit on the high spec run out model..
It's years since I bought a car without one.
Does or did the dipping mirror on a D4 include the doors mirrors dipping as well ? (as it does on Jaguar)
I find the three dipping makes a huge difference on a low slung car as you are eyes on the lights of most cars... BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.
